AND ANOTHER THING why is femininity or Sophie being dressed up always a gag? Like she does look beautiful we know that but she’s nearly always uncomfortable or forced into it? It could just be an insecurity thing because she doesn’t think she’s pretty, maybe like lipstick on a pig in her mind (though let’s be real miss piggy serves cunt don’t even joke) but… she’s never given any other options? It feels like all those scenes where the plain girl is forced to dress up and it’s a glow up montage on an unwilling participant which I HATE. Instantly her closet was filled with frilly dresses which she wasn’t too keen on and I’m just mad they gave her no other options, she should’ve been given nice pants and shirts for when she had to dress up if that’s what she chose ya know? And everything she’s drawn in is like a dress with pants under, why not just give her normal pants and a normal shirt? Idk I just want her to have freedom </3

Ok I think that’s the last of my rants abt Sophie

I think it very much stems from the idea that women simultaneously have to be beautiful, but aren't allowed to know/like it, that I see so often in fiction (and in real life, but I'm more knowledgeable about its appearance in fiction). Sophie is repeatedly stripped of agency around her own beauty, because for a woman to have that agency isn't relatable, isn't feminist, isn't palatable enough.

(okay quick note this is a long post so buckle up)

"Allegedly. No one's exactly sure." I say about my OC, whom I've created and spent copious amounts of time fleshing out

"But that's just my headcanon. We'll see if it becomes canon." I say about my OC, over whom I have complete agency

if you answer yes, please put in the tags what you imagine that would be like. method of communication, number of alicorns present, etc.

should I do a stream Saturday night like I did last week since the one on Tuesday was kinda short and half of you didn't get to see it, idk who can at that time but please tell me. Also I want to know what Lenore is thinking about, and start Tiertice lol

Saturday night works but I can only stay up so late so it would be nice if it was like an hour earlier than last time so I could stay for the whole thing

My Designs for All 12 Councillors ✨✨✨

This is what we were gearing up for 😌✊

In order: Emery and Oralie, Terik and Bronte, Darek and Noland, Liora and Velia, Ramira and Zarina, and Clarette and Alina :)

I’m pretty sure Oralie and Emery were done like 3 months ago and I JUST finished Clarette and Alina today so wowza

All together these drawing were collectively around 30 - 40 hours of work total 😬

But yeah here’s all of them! I loveee how they turned out!!!

These all look so amazing!!!

homosexuality is “really cool”

Okay I know this isn't even remotely what your post is about but I'd like to point out that "no agenda" is in fact an agenda. And that agenda is homophobia.

here are your character options for me to make on the stream tomorrow!! If you have any more pls tell me.

Prentice and tiergan

Noland and darek

Elwin and someone else idk maybe livvy

My goal is to make two characters per stream and I don't have time for a poll so choose your characters.

Okay at least you're kind of impressed. Lennor went "wow only to the moon?" so like I guess elves have gotten to space too probably??? based on that?? idk I couldn't tell you

Lennor. . . I’m afraid I do not recognize that name. At any rate it is impressive for humans. From an elven perspective it isn’t as remarkable.

ah, Lennor's councillor Bronte's father, if that helps at all

Councillor Bronte has a father? I thought he crawled out of the pits of hell.

Fair assumption, but he actually has 2 living parents

I thought he killed his mother.

He inflicted on her when he was young and pretty massively screwed up her nerves but she's definitely alive !!

Indeed, I remain amongst the living.

Oh my, here you are. A pleasure to meet you, truly. I’m quite interested to hear how such an incredibly amount of infliction affected you.

Ah, it resulted in a near entire inability to facially express emotion. Something I am sure you are somewhat familiar with.

Even so, I retain almost all other motor function. I have been told that is very fortunate.

Very interesting. And did it have a sort of psychological impact? I’d expect whatever physician treated you would know, but do you yourself know if there was any specific shift in mentality?

After all so much pain can cause the shattering of an elven mind. I’m intrigued to know how you withstood it.

It was exceedingly difficult to adjust to initially. I truly believe I spent several months on the verge of breaking. Though many told me I seemed to be "nothing more than a little quiet". I assume such comments had much to do with my lacking ability to express distress.

Having Lennor present was... steadying.

And Lennor is your. . . Husband? He was not inflicted on?

He is, yes. He was not home at the time.

This was evil of me actually, because that means that basically she and Bronte were home alone. Teenage Bronte being terrified and not knowing what to do because he just took out the present responsible adult. His fear only making it worse.

holy shit you’re right.

And possibly Bronte hailing Lenore. And all Lenore can hear is his sons unintelligible sobbing and he know something is horribly wrong.

Lenore coming home to see his wife collapsed and twitching on the ground- and his son crouched next to her shaking with fear. Holy shit I’m normal I’m so normal I’m not crying shut up you’re crying

See now the big question is how did the inflicting start. Like Bronte had to have been feeling Bad in a way that made him lash out so he was probably angry, but about what?

two options here:

argument about how Bronte needed to control himself and his ability better. It gets too heated. Bronte starts seeing red. Boom.

or

Bronte threw a fit because Lucilla refused to cut the crusts off his PBJ for him /j

The last emotion he ever got to see on his mother's face was probably anger

I’ll do you one better

the last emotion he got to see in his mothers face was agony.

complete and utter excruciating pain.

and he had been the one to cause it

that day was ingrained into his character.

AUGH :(

@flyerguardian

also how old was Bronte because I could make this more heartbreaking

I'm becoming increasingly obsessed with this lore

”aro ppl can still date” well yes but you just dont see that character as aro

“ace ppl can still have sex” well yes but you just dont see that character as ace

nonbinary ppl can still use binary terms/identify as lesbian/identify as gay” well yes but you just dont see that character as nonbinary

I never really appreciated the fact that a constantly repeated characteristic about elves was how they are extremely conventionally attractive. And the said conventionally attractive elves are all skinny, which is inherently implying that people who are plus size are not attractive which is obviously incorrect. The ONLY elf who is deemed overweight is Mr. Forkle while he’s in disguise and his entire disguise is meant to be perceived as human. And the only other human characters that play a more major role were Sophie’s human parents and sophie actively compared the characteristics of her physical traits to her family at some point in the first book stating, “the slender blonde among her chubby brunette family” why did one of the main differences that had to be stated be about their body types? It always rubbed me the wrong way

Exactly! And then every time I see this pointed out, there's someone saying "but she said there were people of all body types!" Like yeah but what happened to show don't tell?? I feel like this series is full of things like that, where we're told elves are extremely diverse, but then the main cast are mostly skinny and white. It just feels hypocritical.

Every single non trans woman who proclaims to be an ally absolutely needs to be posting about how goddamn transmisogynist staff is.

Because when trans women dare to speak up for themselves, Tumblr nukes their blogs.

We need to be fucking loud about this, daily, because Tumblr staff is specifically targeting and deleting trans women who are not breaking ToS and who often have fundraisers up FOR THEIR SURVIVAL.

By deleting these blogs repeatedly, Tumblr staff is saying loud and clear what they hope happens to these girls.

Are y'all okay with that? Because if not we need to be posting about it more because we have seen by now it's incredibly fucking unlikely this sites moderation will delete our blogs for it because we are not trans women

Tumblr staff and CEO Matt Mullenweg want trans women in need to not be able to post their fundraisers, meaning they are okay with these women dying.

Wylinh & Marrelinh

I'll say it because nobody else will. Wylinh is a horrible ship. You're free to have your opinions but seriously..? A 16 and a 21 year old? Wylinh shippers also make me want to ram my head into a wall when they say "But Alden and Della are fine and that age gap is way bigger" No. They are both consenting adults who can fully agree to that, Linh is not.

On this topic, a lot of these people are the ones who say Marrelinh doesn't work because elves aren't gay or Marrella/Linh isn't gay. First of all, do not even try to deny the fact that Marella is queer and second of all why does it matter. Let me ship my gays in peace.
