Story time! When I was a kid in art class, I always got in trouble for coloring every person in my pictures brown or black or yellow, even if I was drawing myself or my pale German-ass family. My teacher would scold me like, “Your family isn’t brown or yellow! Don’t use that color!” and I’d throw a tantrum, yelling “WELL I’M NOT THE COLOR OF THE WHITE CRAYON WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME??”
And then I grew up and learned about undertones, and my skin is yellow/warm-toned af, so take that, Mrs. Johnson.
The moral of the story is: if a seven-year-old can color brown people, so can you.
Part of me says to delete the post because honestly, I’m tired of arguing with people. The fact of the matter is: if you draw characters that canonically have brown/tan skin, keep their skin brown/tan in your art. That’s it.
All of the artists in this fandom are extremely talented and I can’t take that away from you. Just please look up tutorials on how to color characters with brown skin.
Draw! The! Boys! As! Rats!
That is all, plzkthx.
What if Mammon had an albino rat?
I had a name for the rat, but then I realized it was sort of racist-
You can only reblog this on 14th march
Please come to Dragoncon this year (assuming we can all get vaccinated and such)!
And all the Obey Me cosplayers! Pleeeeeease don’t make me beg. It’s a very unbecoming look for an adult woman.
I think about the brothers' fall a lot
Bonus:
Hello fellow idiot!
Also I’m thinking of like, in Arthur’s route, you get threatened by some random barflies, which, yeah I’ll glass y’all in the face any day of the week. And I think some college bro punks try to start shit in Isaac’s route? I’ve killed off a lot of my brain cells with quarantine drinking, so my memory might be iffy.
Also, IRL tip from my time spent working with law enforcement: if someone tries to grab you/lure you away and take you somewhere, scream, run away, do whatever it takes not to go with them. Your odds of getting out alive are a lot better if you put up a fight before the asshole gets you to a private place.
This has been a PSA from your friendly local embittered old feminist former prosecutor
This has been bothering me since I started playing otome games, especially the Ikemen series (aka “Kidnapping for Fun and Profit Romance”). Why are the MC’s always helpless as shit and/or shaking in their boots as soon as the love interest gets into some kind of scuffle?
My daddy didn’t teach me to throw a haymaker so some malnourished nineteenth-century twat could pick me up and carry me away. When the MC is threatened by an antagonist/random mugger/whatever plot device, I want an option to say, “Bitch I can bench-press you and your Dickensian orphan buddies, go eat whatever sewer rats you use as a protein source and come back to me in a couple months.”
Maybe it’s a cultural thing, and the Japanese market likes their protagonists sweet and innocent, or maybe I’m just white trash, I dunno. Give me an MC who is about to take her earrings off and turn her rings in ‘cause she is gonna step to these fools.
In summary:
This reminds me of that National Geographic article that said, statistically, everyone of European heritage alive today is a descendant of Charlemagne. That is, everyone alive in Europe in the ninth century who had children is related to everyone of European extraction today (including Charlemagne’s unfortunately named kinfolk Drogo and Pippin). So, mathematically, if Lilith lived eons ago, basically every human is related to her in some fashion, and probably a good fraction of humans would be her direct descendants. So…
WE ARE ALL MC!
Not a request, just curious about something. Idk if I should say spoilers or not but just in case, spoilers. I just started playing but I know that MC is Lilith's decendant but doesn't that mean Lilith had kids and those kids had kids? Wouldn't it make more sense to say that MC is Lilith's reincarnation or am I just reading things wrong here?
NOOOOO
Lilith got reincarnated as a human EONS ago and had kids and those kids had kids and then those kids had kids, etc...
We are, as MC, a descendent of Lilith. Like. A million and then some Generations down
Hope that helped
I just started this game and when MC was about to throw hands with Toa’s fan club...
YASSSSSSS
Once again one of the best things of court of darkness is the MC 😌👆
she really said we ain't doing no damsel in distress , I got you too 🤧👏👏
This message is for the late night scrollers, the ones who prowl Tumblr late at night for an escape. Looking for those fics that hit just right, that take away the hurt and make you feel like your comfort character is there, beside you, holding you, loving you.
Take a deep breath for me, in and out. They're there. Can you feel them? They know you struggled today and they're so proud of you! They're so happy to see you even if it's only in the dark, when you're hurting, when you need an escape. They treasure these moments with you, breathing in your scent, feeling you. God, how they love you.
I hope you find the story you need. The one that brings you comfort and peace that follows you into your dreams. I hope tomorrow is better then today and that you remember you are loved, even if the only love you can feel is from that fictional character you adore so much.
They believe in you and so do I, the random girl on Tumblr who's scrolling late at night too.
Aww thank you! I absolutely adore Portia! She’s got those pretty curves and all the hot goss - we could have so much trouble fun together. Now I have to go catch her latest chapter!
Could I request an Arcana matchup pretty plz? I'm 5'2", a bi redhead lady, lawyer (former French major turned child abuse prosecutor), and whiskey-loving introvert. Most of my free time is devoted to reading nonfiction, caring for any animal I can bring home, learning new languages, and traveling (if my animals have a sitter). I lived in New Orleans and Rome so I know some good recipes to cook for my gf/bf. And I may or may not have been in a bar fight. You're the real mvp :D
I pair you with Portia!
- Portia would be so impressed and inspired by your work as a lawyer. She cares about protecting those who are vulnerable, so knowing that her partner is actively fighting to make sure children are safe would make her trust and confide in you pretty quickly.
- Portia prefers fiction pretty often, but she also loves learning about history and real adventures from the past, so she’d love to read or watch things with you about those subjects. She can find something interesting in any subject though, so she’d be happy to learn more about some of the nonfiction topics you enjoy. She also loves animals and would love to give them a home if you both have enough room.
- She loves to cook and do domestic things with her partner, so the skill you have with cooking would lead the way to you both spending a lot of time with each other having fun in the kitchen.
- Portia is a sweet and caring person, but she can also go hard when she needs to. She’d definitely want to hear about your bar fight story. Though some would expect her to be a little taken aback, she’d have at least one story that’s similar to offer you in response. She’s a lot stronger than people think.
May I humbly suggest

In my free time I like to make cursed things. I ran out of clever names at the end don’t @ me
My feelings for Diavolo are complicated, ok? I just want to be in a Lucifer/Mammon sandwich to appease my Id and Superego at the same time. Can’t I just live???
