BUT MY POINT STILL STANDS - Tumblr Posts
I am slightly inebriated, so please forgive any errors. Anyhow, I just adore Dark Sun/Nexus. Not because they could fix or save each other but a secret third thing: they're both inevitably doomed by the narrative in completely different ways that come together to create a monstrous masterpiece.
Nexus was always meant to be an echo; always the angel but never the God; always a funhouse-mirrored version of an already deeply flawed individual. Never was he set up to be in control of his own life. Always wondering what would have happened if he were enough. If he were better.
Dark Sun—Sun—cannibalized what he believes to be the source of infinite issues and problems: Moon. For all intents and purposes, he won. A Sun fought back and showed that any cornered dog will eventually bite.
But he's visited enough dimensions to know that Suns all eventually lose. They get sucked back into trauma and stress. It's what they were made for. The daycare attendant was meant to work 24/7, to worry and care and fret and help. Everything he built could fall in an instant if he dared lose control.
They don't make each other better. They make each other drastically worse in separate ways (Sun morally, Nexus psychologically). It's why I love them! It's like watching an ant farm that's really a gladiator ring. I toss them in and watch them brawl it out. Apologies for the length.
Do not apologize, this ramble was lovely. I love the painted imagery you used in this.
#damn I love the rapline
= perfect tag
The power of the three of them together; each with a different perspective, delivery and emotion. It’s the emotional breadth of a Broadway musical condensed into 3.5 minutes
ya playa haters you should love yourself
I still like Luke from PJO; I don’t think he’s a villain. Imagine you spend your childhood not knowing who your dad is and being left with a crazy woman who’s also your mother and can’t even recognize you, not to mention the psychotic episodes. Then you decide to run away with a GOLF CLUB for defense and find 2 other lonely kids on the street that you practically adopt and THEN you finally make it to a spot you were suppposed to be safe at only to be ambushed my a monster that kills your best friend who gets turned into a tree. Then you get shoved into a cabin with 50 other kids and never get sent on a quest even though you’ve been there the longest and was a permanent member and newbies are getting sent out despite your experience. And THEN your dead beat father finally sends you on a quest only for you to gain a scar across your eye and to almost die and then come back to camp realizing you still have to sleep in the same place with 50 other random kids. Bro that be traumatizing enough for anyone. Not to mention he’s only 19 and was 14 when he adopted two other kids. Bro just felt angsty for a second and then some dude comes along like “I’ll make everything better, I swear. I’m powerful enough”. ANYONE would take that offer. Then, his is (practically) little sister betrays him and the “good guy” from earlier ends up controlling his mind and possessing his body, making him betray everyone he’s ever loved.
Just found out that you can't take the battery out of a smoke alarm. Also it's 2 in the morning. I am going to kill someone.
Artists on tumblr do NOT know how to draw trans men hairy, I’m sorry. Y’all will draw a post top surgery, post hrt trans man with stubble and not an ounce of body hair, I need you to give that babygirl some chest hair, I’m begging you. If you saw the amount of hair on my body you would faint.
