whenever i see ur levi art i get the inexplicable urge to bark but not in a sexual way, in a “u are so interesting and terrible and fantastic and u suck and i love you but i dont know how to verbalise it” kind of way
GOOD. He's NOT sexy. he's not sexy he's not sexy he is interesting
guy who posts abt his ocs like they are a very popular character that everyone has common knowledge about
my somewhat unpopular opinion is that "famous story retold from female character's pov" is a good concept, actually. it's just that it became gimmicky very fast and spawned a storm of lazy works that refuse to engage with the source material in any meaningful way and flanderize everything into generic YA tropes. but at its core taking a known story and exploring it through the perspective of a female character even, and perhaps especially, when said character is not a particularly active agent on said story, is a way to remind people that women are still people with rich inner lives and that the real life women that we learned to think as pawns in the lives of men were/are still humans whose complex interiority deserve exploration on principle that everyone, but especially the people who live on the margins, deserve exploration. but that's a concept that gets defeated when most people writing those lazy retellings can't write complex interiority to save their lives.
i think muire lo's death made me most nauseous because while tain hu's death had at least a touch of well tain hu was fearless and crazier than baru she was her queen and god help anyone who dared to disrespect her queen, muire lo was like a beautiful and delicate gazelle with a family to take care of who got collateral damaged by baru's tractor which xate yawa or whoever did that rammed into with her truck
