fairytale week day 5: free day
it’s a little hard to figure out from this, but i did rumpelstiltskin with arlene as the woman who became queen, bam as her son, and jahad as rumpelstiltskin himself
Zahard x Arlene is SO "strangles you with the red thread tying us together" core... Zahard remaining haunted by Arlene's prophecy for the rest of his life and Arlene devoting the rest of HER life to her all consuming hatred for Zahard and setting said prophecy of his downfall into motion.
Forget about her so far pretty generic romance with V, (often further distilled down into the blandest possible core of m/f ('he was a boy, she was a girl', 'wholesome') without even acknowledging the edges canon gives them (going to war together - the whole "battle couple" thing you could make out of that alone - , what about their underlying ideals? Edahn doesn't mention Arlene as particularly taken with Tower residents and even acting as frequent intermediary between Zahard and V, so how did they mesh in that regard? Having to watching it all crumble, slipping away as literal fugitives, the breakdown of their relationship potentially even prior but definitely following their sons murder, etc.)), Zahard and Arlene is where it's at. It's literally the dynamic that created the plot of Tower of God.
Happy birthday @jusalilweird! I decided to draw fluffy bird!AU this year. I hope you like it <3
Leviathan after getting absorbed by Bam: Where the fuck am I?!
All the souls, the thorns, Black March, Viole, and the Blue and Red Thryssa:
I miss you

Anyone: *mentions Bam*
Khun, vibrating at a frequency that could shatter glass: Yeah, I like him a normal amount
Thinking about how Bam has been dehumanized multiple times by people and the system in Tower of God, only seeing him as a weapon or a monster. We even get from Rachel that his own mom saw him as a monster. And now his father is doing the exact same thing.
His parents only ever saw him as a vessel for revenge. They don’t care about Bam himself.
And the fact that this is happening in front of Khun and Endorsi, the two people who’ve purported Bam’s existence as his own is even more insane. They have to watch the one they love be puppeted around by a random ass man
Seeing V treat Bam so poorly, even telling Luslec that he did a great job preparing Bam's body for him, truly pisses me off. He does not see his literal child that he and Arlene made, but instead, a tool that he can use to get revenge.
V, you may be hot, but I want to yeet you out of the tower. (It's totally fucked up that I still like him, right? Lol)
