A Moment Of Rest

if it weren't so clearly gearing up towards a desperate tragedy this entire exchange of arthur going "lying bad" and john going "what if lying good" and then getting incredibly fake offended when arthur asks if he has, perchance, been lying would be comedy gold

Me: Mizu’s gender in Blue Eye Samurai is complex and ambiguous even to him/her/them and that’s part of the richness of the story, not a reason for the fandom to get upset at one another or especially at the show creators for saying they envisioned Mizu as a woman struggling to survive in a society hostile towards her racial background and women in general. Mizu’s upbringing was, to put it lightly, supremely fucked up and I respect the show for leaving Mizu’s gender identity and sexual preferences fairly ambiguous because I think they’re ambiguous even to Mizu, who doesn’t exactly lead a life or display an internality in which this question is any kind of priority for Mizu to answer, even if Mizu had a cultural context that gave the tools the answer it, which Mizu does not. Mizu’s relationship with all aspects of their identity, including their race, gender, sexuality is an ongoing question and dialogue being actively explored in the show itself, without a strict conclusion offered, and a conclusion might never be offered, even in later seasons, as Mizu continues to grapple with identity. In this essay, I will…

Also me: Mizu’s gender is revenge.

Happy spooky season! Have some Wandering Night Gaunt concept art from before making the podcast!

I would like to point out that John's memory issues only started after The Nightmare. You know, after what might be the only time we've seen a supernatural creature affect his mind directly?

taigen + text posts pt 1/?

I don’t know about you, but I nominate Mr. Scratch as the scariest monster in Malevolent so far

Another pic for @croik somewhat set in the Entangled series universe. I’ve always really loved the King in Yellow as a character fromt eh Lovecraft mythos, but Malevolent, and these fics in particular elevated him to blorbo status.

Am I the only one who had the thought that Detective Noel could be Roland Cummings' ex-partner?

My initial thought was of Roland himself until Noel said that he'd never been married himself but that he used to have a partner who was married, whose wife died.
