that "is elesh norn conventionally attractive" post has reminded me to be angry about how her design has been gradually shifted to be less monstrous and more feminine over the years. the inhumanity is the reason the original concept art by richard whitters and the art for her first card by igor kieryluk make her so character design so compelling.
she's not a woman, she's a flesh construct that's vaguely woman-shaped. this is the glistening oil's blind attempt at recreating a symbol of holy purity.
by the next time we see her on a magic card, kieryluk's design has already been watered down into a more typically feminine shape. she looks like she could have at one point been an ordinary woman here. the gore texture has been removed to make her midriff look like a normal, albeit red, woman's tummy. her limbs are practically normal, and if she's still 8 feet tall in this pic she doesn't look like it.
art of elesh norn from promotional material for all will be one, and the art of her actual card in the set. her flat torso plate has been completely resculpted to more cartoonish womanly proportions, including breasts. her thighs are inexplicably curvy (with flesh, presumably).
WHAT I'M SAYING is that elesh norn WASN'T conventionally attractive, we just got frogboiled into her design being more like that.
dropped the walrus vs fairy question on a group of psychologists today and not only did the majority agree the walrus would be more surprising, the one with the strongest background in research responded to the ‘but fairies aren’t real’ argument with “are your beliefs so inflexible that you’ve never considered you might be wrong about what’s real and what’s not?” and honestly i haven’t recovered
honestly you know what goals
oh, did I ever tell you about [thing I've told you about no fewer than four times, opening on exactly this sentence every single one of those times]
The thing about reclaiming slurs is that once you've been affectionally called 'faggot' by friends, loved ones, and amiable fellows on the internet for long enough, you almost forget that it means something else to people who hate you.
Honestly at this point if a stranger on the street yelled "hey faggot!" after me, I'd probably turn around like "what?" like they'd just casually called me by name, and they were only trying to get my attention because they wanted to tell me something, before processing that they're being hostile.
Tired of Appalachia having a spooky cryptid stereotype. You know what's really scary in Appalachia? Flash flooding. Rabies. Being stuck snowed in for weeks bc the mountain roads don't get cleared. When the river turns a fun swimming day into a tragedy. The fact that there are a 150 opioid prescriptions handed out per hundred people in multiple counties. Retirees from the city gentrifying your hometown and pricing you out of the area. I'm scared of what it means that even as interest increases in the area it's so superficial that the Appalachian studies efforts are getting cut from local and university programs.
I ain't scared of near deer or whatever bc I carry a gun into the woods. There are greater Boogeymen to worry on
