WAIT

I JUST REMEMBERED HEARING AN ELON MUSK QUOTE WHERE HE TALKS ABOUT HOW HE BELIEVES CHESS IS "TOO SIMPLE" OR WHATEVER AND HE SAID HIS FAVORITE GAME WAS A GAME CALLED "POLYTOPIA"

I JUST REMEMBERED THAT IVE PLAYED POLYTOPIA

It being Elon's favorite game (or at least one so important to him that his biographer dedicates a lot of time to it) is.....really really funny.

Basically, imagine Civilization, but as a mobile game. So like if Civilization Revolution was even more dumbed down (that's a Civilization insult. That's devastating. It's devastated right now). For what it's worth, it's not a bad game. On the contrary, from what I could tell in the little bit of time I played it, it's a perfectly competent game with good design. But it's not a deep game by any means. I played through it once, won easily on my first go, then saw that the other playable characters had barely any differences between them.

Like, not to imply you can judge a book by its cover, but here's what it looks like

I came across an article by Dave Karpf discussing this exact thing, and I think it describes it wonderfully

Hey, saw your doing requests. Could you draw blaze but like a stereotypical nerd? With like braces, glasses, nerdy attire, lisp, maybe slightly messy fur and hair. Something like that, maybe with a nerdy silver or something, like a nerdy couple, but that last part is optional, just nerdy blaze is fine by me. Hope you like the idea and are having a great day

nerds!!!!!! ok honestly i'm not quite sure what a stereotypical nerd would be, but i kinda made blaze a bit more weeb-y and silver just looks like he hasn't hit puberty yet, but um anyways... hope they're nerdy enough!

I love your emperor Blaze au, absolutely eating up everything about it, ADORE the designs, to start off, but I wanted to inquire about her mom blinding her in one eye?

It’s a bit of a negative stereotype to give “villainous” characters a physical disability, usually involved in their “evil” backstory. You could probably think of some in your area of influence, but I’ve got some partially blind people in my life and they don’t really love the doctor evil comparisons, especially when that’s kinda all they see. I just wanted to let you know in private that it falls into a trope, not with any ill will, just to spread awareness. Please don’t take any offense! It’s your au and you can absolutely do whatever you want with it.

Sorry if I bothered you!

oh my god, i'm so sorry! i didn't even realize i was falling into that stereotype, thank you for telling me.

i was kinda just going for something that would be a permanent reminder for blaze of what she's done and how she's changed, something more than just, like, a scar, and something significant to show that her mother didn't go down easily. and that is... exactly the stereotype, damn. yeah, i'm retconning that immediately lol.

hm... i was going to use her partial blindness to make her gradually get more and more obsessed with "proving her mother wrong" and taking control of everything, but... let's see if i can find something else.

anyways, thank you so much!

...what if i made an au where blaze becomes a dictator. oh no.

ahem, um, lots and lots of ramblings and a few doodles below! like, lots of ramblings.

oh yeah, here's some blaze sketches for this au! she gets a headress when she becomes empress, and her outfit is based on both of her parents'- her mother's shoulder pads and cape, and the flames on her father's changshen. she also paints her face to mimic having some of her mother's stripes. why? probably to mock her.

Why must I be burdened with these useless emotions

I have had enough of this aching feeling in my stomach

I am tired, I am so tired

When will this pain stop

Let this suffering end already, I hate it
