I LOVE YOU !

stop the raoul and Christine hate, Christine daaé did nothing wrong.

( well, she did kind of, But we’ll get to that later, I’m also defending poor Erik here.)

so one day I was scrolling through Instagram, and my christine loving heart finds a comment like this,

“Christine is a selfish, little slut. She doesn’t deserve erik. Well, the best men find the worst women i suppose,”

or something like that , I did post about it before I wiped out my account because one, I didn’t enjoy the things I was doing with my account—anyhow, I’m sure you can find the original post on a reblog.

but that comment really did infuriate me. I bet they hate raoul, I just know they do. And no, that’s not the first Christine hater I have encountered— In fact, they’re everywhere on Pinterest, indeed—everywhere!

Oh, and another thing! Why do people hate raoul? Because of Love Never Dies? Even with the sequel, he is an amazing character!

I don’t like what they did with love never dies . . The music is outstanding, but really, the ironic ending is too good to continue , leave that to the fanfiction writers who want a better ending for poor Erik. I’m sure the Phangirls screamed at Webber for having a poor ending for Erik , Even though Gaston Leroux wanted it that way.

(Or...I’m convinced it was made for Brightman, whom divorced Webber, responding to that— Webber made a self insert fanfiction— and made Christine perish.)

But anyways, Christine feared Erik, that’s the thing. Yes, I’m sure christine loved Erik, Erik is supposed to be a sympathetic villain.

But he murders people, manipulated the entire opera house, threaten to take raoul’s life many times in the book, kept her down for two weeks in the book, tied Christine up in the book, made Christine choose between the death of many people of Paris or marriage—must I go on?

Now, I’m more of an E/C shipper myself. But why hate on Raoul and Christine? Why hate on Raoul because of something he couldn’t control? Why hate on Christine becuase she was told to go by the poor man, who she was afraid of and chose Raoul?

Now here’s were i défend Erik.

Erik didn’t know how to love. Erik didn’t know how to do anything but kill. He saw a light and loved her because she was kind and could bring him music, kind of in the mindset— “Well, maybe she could bring me happiness, joy.. something other than agony, that’s what I’ve always wanted ,”

But he was too demanding, scary and angry. (Half of the phandom, including I- ship Erik x Therapy, hell, he made a mannequin in a replica of his crush, I’m scared of what that mannequin has seen.)

Raoul had no control over whom Christine would choose, but he was sweet; a boyish charm and warm. Yes, nobody likes that boy. But he’ll treat you better, would you like a toxic man who has known nothing but pain? Or a warm, kind gentleman who would protect you with his life? Both would die for you, but one is more mentally stable than the other.

Oh, yes. The answer you may choose- the toxic man, so you could “teach him love,” I’m looking at you, wattpad. I am in an anti-raoul club. I can confirm however I want an Anti-Raoul & erik club because they don’t deserve the goddess we call Christine Daae.

Like, let’s be honest, they’re both not good, but the better choice would be raoul, maybe if Erik didn’t do all the not-so-good things I listed in the 9th paragraph of this rant, (I hardly even call these paragraphs, maybe—ninth glob of sentences?)

Okay, the title is kind of clickbait— Christine did do something wrong. But not because she left erik! Because she tore off his mask after he said repeatedly not to!

I do agree why she did it, possibly because she thought it was someone she already knew, (the MazM game explained it perfectly.)

But overall, she didn’t do much wrong, she did what she could, and tried to do something, anything to protect others from erik.

Christine Daaé did not do anything wrong, as neither did Viscount Raoul De Chagny.

(okay that’s a lie, raoul didn’t listen to christine—but that doesn’t make it okay to hate raoul.)

I wanna thank the CR fandom for supporting the little art I made. I didn't expect all the love and support!

Especially cause I was contacted by Liam the other day and it really made my day! Once again thank you all for your support!

my reaction rn:

I don't have have any of the social media that would let me get this to him directly.

Can someone tell Matt Mercer that Candela Obscura has been haunting my library for the last three weeks? I think he'd think it's funny.

Someone, somewhere, who somehow has access to our closed wifi has been printing a copy of the quick guide at least once every day or every couple of days.

We have sixteen, now.

There will be a lull, we're sure it's finally over, and then boom -

Candela Obscura

With the Mighty Nein animated series being in the works, there’s one thing I’m really hoping for and I don’t know if it’ll happen.

I want the little details of Caleb casting spells to be there, like how Liam describes the components and how he uses them. I would love it if we just had a zoomed in shot of him grabbing stuff out of his pouch and smooshing it together and then BOOM ✨magic✨

Because I swear Liam does it almost every time while everyone else is just like ‘imma cast this at this level’ so it would be so funny if everyone else casting spells was (unless it was a big moment) to just be BAM ✨magic✨

My boyfriend and I recently got a bird together (we now have 3 total) and two of them are named after lion king characters due to a family tradition, so ofc when we got our baby bird I tried to keep that tradition.

But obviously with me getting super back into Critical Role I gave only one name suggestion, now the tradition is out the window so say hi to Artagan or Arty

He is a cinnamon turquoise conure and he’s an absolute menace of a baby but we love the chaos. Also I named him that because he is the traveler (we had to drive 6 hours total to get him) and he’s got them orange eyebrows

boiii whatchu say about ookie cookie??!?

I'm gonna draw a picture of him to prove he rocks

Happy Campaign Three y’all!!!!

Some sketches from this week

上野村冬季Ｃ＆Ｒ釣り場　ハコスチ・ジャンプに翻弄された１日（備忘録）-2021.12.06-

先日、群馬県は上野村にある『冬季ハコスチ釣り場』に出かけてきました（神流川を利用したＣ＆Ｒ釣り場）。 前の週にここを訪れた釣友から、とてもいい釣りをしたという話を聞き、もう居ても立っても居られなくなり車を走らせてしまったといった具合です！

（上写真）川の駅-上野に事務所受付けがあります（営業時間 am9:00-pm16:00）

情報では、ボトムノックスイマーを使った川底から中層を探る釣りで好反応が得られたそうなのですが、残念ながら私には反応なし。

ルアーの動きをしっかりと目視することのできないブラインドの釣りにも飽きてしまったため、ルアーを小型のフローティングミノー「スティル」&「スティル・エリアチューン」に変更しました。

（上写真）スティル（最上段）とスティル・エリアチューン 水面から20～30cmのところで、移動距離を抑えた弱めの連続トゥイッチアクションを加えると、それまでのノー感じがまるでウソであったかのように反応があります。

しかし、魚はかなりスレているようで追ってくるスピードに勢いがありません。やっと口を使ったと思ったら喰い損ねてしまう個体も多く、ついつい汚いコトバが口から洩れてしまいます...反省。 そしてやっとフッキングしたと思ったら、今度は得意のハコスチJUMPを披露されて、はいサヨナラ。 ん～難しい。けど楽しい！ 当日はこんな感じで、私が夢見ていたウハウハな状況とは少し違いましたが、これはこれでとても楽しかったです！ 基本的には難しいけれど、まったく歯が立たない訳でもないという適度な難易度が◎。たまに大きな個体が顔を出してくれるところも魅力ですね！ そして何よりウエイダーを履いての川歩きがとても気持ちよかった！！ 機会があれば、年内にもう一度足を運びたいと思います。 ※ これからの時期に出かける方は、朝晩の車の運転（路面凍結）には十分に注意してください。

（上写真）この日のファーストヒットはハコスチではなく、秋色ヤマメ

（上写真）婚姻色のでた雄の個体でした

（上写真）この日は混雑を避けて、下流域を中心に探りました

（上写真）こちらはレギュラーサイズのハコスチ

（上写真）こちらもハコスチ。ジャンプを繰り返すのでとにかくバレます

（上写真）反応のあるポイントは、時間を空けて何度も探りなおしました

（上写真）この日最大のハコスチ 61cm　精悍な顔つきの個体を期待していたのですがチョット太りすぎですね

（上写真）この日の行動ログ　下流域しか探ることができませんでした

（上写真）とてもいい釣り日和でした

"Alright, so I will! I do. I do. I kiss her." I'm a bit late to the party, but here's my celebratory Imogen and Laudna artwork!! + some details:

apologies for a) the lack of a rock chisel in Laudna's hair, b) the shitty background and c) imogen's sleeves being incorrect!!

I'm super excited for the future of these two. My commissions are currently open (with a short waitlist at the moment), so if you're interested, make sure to dm me for details! I'll get around to making a proper post about commissions details that I will pin to my dash. <3 <3 <3

bitches be like “I love my girl,” and the girl is every marisha ray character. it’s me, I’m bitches

laudna and imogen temult as joseph paelinck’s orpheus and eurydice

forgive me for the orpheus and eurydice parallel with these two but I can’t help but see it. these recent episodes have destroyed not just my pussy (sorry) but also my heart and soul. I had to paint something angsty and moon-washed and sad, so here you go!!! complete with some close-ups on their faces. I love them, I miss laudna, I am very excited for the coming episodes.

if you want a digital commission or just wanna support my art then here’s the link to my ko-fi:

laudna and imogen temult as egon schiele’s death and the maiden.

crossed over to critical role for my third old painting redraw!! this one is a bit more obscure than the kiss or the meeting on the turret stairs but I love it very much and think it quite suits imogen and laudna.

was googling the time warp dance from just dance 4 for reasons and omg

laudna and ashton I didn’t know you guys were on just dance!!!

okay but what if imogen is a kalashtar

I know I don’t really post on here BUT I have an imogen theory. This might have already been said but she has a lot of similarities to the kalashtar race from ebberon??

kalashtar are a race created from the union of a human and a dream realm spirit known as quori, which is then passed down through generations, so it’s a hereditary thing. In appearance they essentially are sort of like aasimar in terms of looking very human with some little weird almost alien twinges.

kalashtar have a specific trait called severed from dreams:  Kalashtar sleep, but they don’t connect to the plane of dreams as other creatures do. Instead, their minds draw from the memories of their otherworldly spirit while they sleep. could possibly explain some moon shit??

ALSO they CAN READ MINDS and SPEAK TELEPATHICALLY TO OTHER CREATURES. It also mentions in some sources that Kalashtar’s eyes flash and glow when they’re experiencing strong emotions, which happens to imogen sometimes.

I just wonder if matt and laura worked on melding the kalashtar into a version that would work in exandria, so maybe not a quori spirit exactly but something ruidus-related? maybe this is all coincidental and maybe someone has said it already, who knows, but I’ve been thinking about it for a little while!!
