Out Of Curiousity, Do You Have A Concept Of What The Marks Of The Last Word Look Like? I Find The Description

[OC] contracts.

main story • general tag

betraying someone who trusts them deeply is one of the sexiest things a character can do its unparalleled. cause either the relationship is irrevocably changed and said character is completely at fault (guilt complex, hot) or it isnt and then both sides have to deal with the fact that they care about each other enough to overlook the betrayal (unceasing devotion, also hot)

do you guys know about an unauthorised fan treatise.

hi!!! I have a question about ronin :3 Has he undergone any gender affirming care? I know T is mention in game, but anything other than that? If he hasn’t had top surgery, does he bind and how safe is he about it if so?

(Sorry if it’s weird I’m writing a fic and want to know for the content. You don’t have to answer any of this if it makes you uncomfortable or if you just don’t want to!! I just love the game and want to know more so I can do it justice in my fanfic)

in killer chat, ronin has undergone top and bottom surgery! (he got them in pretty sketchy backalleys both times, but it worked out for him, so...)

but of course, if you'd like to write about a ronin who hasn't had top surgery and binds, feel free to write as you wish! ❤️ in many of his canon's iterations he binds and how safe he is with it really just depends on his mental state.

My friends showed me the Descendants movie for the first time, and I am very clearly not the target audience for this franchise and that's fine lol.

But for fun, I wanted to do this redesign if I were tasked with imagining the Descendants characters. I personally don't dig the modern setting, so I would've leaned towards a fantasy aesthetic closer to something like The School for Good and Evil.

I knew I wanted Mal to have her mother's (and father's) unnatural complexion, and yellow eyes from both. I also wanted to give another small nod to Hades with the blue flame (if she were to use ger spellbook, the magic from it would manifest in blue flames). I gave her little purple baby horns that would turn black as she got older. I also put hints of red in her outfit, which I wanted to be her main color (especially for her coronation look at the end of the story) later on instead of just purple and black like Maleficent, to reflect her slowly coming into her own. Overall, my goal was to push her look to be a lot more witchy and supernatural looking.

I'll likely redesign the other villain kids as well. Let me know if you'd like to see them too!

Some I Was a Teenage Exocolonist thoughts now that I've had time to process my first run:

I love that not only are you not expected to achieve a perfect run on your first playthru, it's not even possible. There are consequences for things like not going to school (mostly in the form of missed opportunities) but no one is going to grab you by the scruff and force you to do it. You're truly allowed to just be a kid living your life which of course will include making mistakes. But this message that you can come back from anything, that there's no such thing as a life ruining choice, that it's ok to not be perfect or perfectly good, that's so fucking refreshing to see in a video game. And the replacement of a good vs bad morality system with a "respect for authority" meter is just *chefs kiss* that combined with the empathy stat should be the standard for any kind of game like this, it's so genius.

Like I started my second run last night and there are a couple things I'm intentionally going to do better this time (being more efficient with gifts and paying better attention to the fetch quests) but this is the first time playing a game where I've ever felt truly comfortable with not getting everything right, or even most things. Like I've just been randomly picking an activity every month (literally rolling a d6) and bc of that my character basically never goes to class. I've already decided next run I'm going to dedicate at least one month every season to school but I don't feel pressured to restart this one like it truly feels ok and part of the intended experience to fuck up and do better next time and that's so fucking cool

ok but all the jokes aside, i DO appreciate the fact that Rise of Red brought back a theme that's not only central to the story of descendants as a whole, but that's also been neglected in the last few installments of the franchise: the theme of parental abuse and the empowerment of the abused child to take back their life and learn to be loved

it also touched on the theme of moral ambiguity, and the reality of living with certain privileges (and the blind spots that come with them)

the execution is debatable, obviously, but they were there, and i appreciate that, especially since they're pretty rare themes in children's mainstream media

It's good and cool to give your characters a single simple, straightforward, non-urgent, super-achievable goal that shouldn't really cost anything or hurt anyone, make that the driving factor for most of their decisions, and then have the Plot do everything in its power to stop them.

Following my redesign of Mal, here’s my take on Evie from Descendants! 👑 I wanted her look to be contrast Mal and be a lot more polished since she’s royalty. I also leaned more into prim and princess-like based on her personality in the movie, but still maintaining dark elements in her aesthetic. I gave her a little skull makeup bag as a nod to the skull in her mother’s dungeon from the original film!
