Jrwi Pd - Blog Posts

Day 1 of JRWI Fluff Week: Hugging!

Fauna was a pretty cool arc, huh?

Just watched the PD Fauna arc. Working on a little somethin.

Okay- I don't have all the major arcana sorted (and some are subject to change), but here's a list of who I've assigned and what cards are still open. Unfortunately there are too many PCs for everyone to get their own major arcana, so some have multiple:

The Fool - Shilo Bathroy (Naivety, New beginnings)

The Magician - Runt (Willpower, Skill, Intellect)

The High Priestess - X

The Empress - X

The Emperor - X

The Hierophant - Arthur Benett (Institutions, Morals)

The Lovers - Rumi and Peter Sqloint (Supportive relationship)

The Chariot - Troy Loughford (Determination, Ambition)

Strength - X

The Hermit - X

Wheel of Fortune - X

Justice - Thanatos (Integrity, Justice)

The Hanged Man - Chip (Lack of direction, martyrdom)

Death - William Wisp (Transition, Change)

Temperance - X

The Devil - Kian Stone (possibly Timothy Rand and Rolan Deep too) (Addiction, lies)

The Tower - Emizel (Bad foundations, destruction)

The Star - X

The Moon - Gillion Tidestrider (Illusion of choice)

The Sun - Jay Ferin (Sun imagery)

Judgement - Blink (Self-evaluation, self-deprecation)

The World - The Council (Endings, completion)

I'll be updating this list as I watch more campaigns (still haven't seen Judgement or TMK)

Mark Winters listening to Vanessa Carlton in the car is my new favorite PD bit

I've been seeing so much awesome greyscale arc art of Wiwi lately and it's making me want to draw some, too.

Once I get to the greyscale arc, it's so over for him.

More PD doodles :)

I think I found my new favorite subject

I am indeed enjoying Prime Defenders

been listening to prime defenders

If you’re bringing this art back I’m bringing this fanart of your fanart back

Guys, you think she's projecting (me I'm projecting)

might turn this into like a comic strip but idk how to open this so its really more free concept

a prime defender and suckuning would be a cool cross over but like mainly William its just like wiwi thinking "why are those people dead" like it would be cool emizle fighting William because of mascaraed or being friends cool thought.

edit:it already happend in ep:9 as a small camio thing

I got too silly…

I might or might not have created a few reaction images of some prime defender characters… which I am proud of but also fairly ashamed of my actions.

The autism got the better of me and I had to post it onto my Tumblr.com so I can show off my abominations.

Anywhizzle I love these guys

any thoughts on pd ep 33, comprehensible or not?

‼️ MAJOR SPOILER AHEAD FOR EPISODES 30-33 OF JRWI PRIME DEFENDERS ‼️

also sorry anon this got way out of hand

Oh man where would i even START. I think what’s really getting me is the heartbreak. What’s still haunting me is that very last line William says, “I really wanted to have a brother.” Like fuck. FUCK!! Fuck Charlie Slimecicle for always giving his characters the most excruciating of sibling relationships and fuck Bizly for playing David so goddamn well.

William got himself into this mess by following his brain, by thinking that the logical thing to do to save the most people and make sure everyone got out of this alive was to just let David take his samples and make sure no one else got hurt in the process. But it’s so clear in episode 33 that despite his better judgement, despite knowing LOGICALLY he shouldn’t trust David, shouldn’t believe him… he does. Because he wants to believe his brother might not be so bad, that he might finally have a brother at all, that there was one thing that came out of deadwood that wasn’t sick.

I keep going back to that scene in David’s private room, where he gives William what is ostensibly his first drink, plays the role of big brother so well, asks him questions to which William spills everything because how could he not? After years of feeling like and believing the older brother he always considered better than him hated him, disliked him, thought him (rightfully in his mind) a freak, how could he refuse this olive branch?

So William tells him everything, and David tells him to come home safe. David tells him he’ll protect him if he needs, that he can come to him for help. When William goes to awkwardly leave, David pulls him in for a hug.

And the worst part of all? I don’t think David is necessarily lying. Or faking. Not fully, at least. I think David is finally interested in William now, in his own twisted way. I think he’s stopped seeing him as some weirdo little brother who disappeared to go be some self righteous hero, and instead started seeing him as… an equal-ish. Someone more on his level. Someone who does see the world for what it is, and is willing to do what it takes to make those hard calls. He was using William, absolutely. Manipulating him for his own ends, without a doubt. But I think he meant it when he told William to make sure he made it back safe. I think he was also welcoming to the idea of them getting closer, maybe becoming brothers for real.

That’s why I think David was so confused when William came bursting into his penthouse with Vyncent. I don’t think he understood one bit why William was so upset. Other than the news that one of the vigilantes had died, nothing else in his mind had changed. It appears he didn’t even know she did, his people just knew to cover his tracks without needing to be told. He wasn’t keeping it a secret from William, his true lie was in telling William the serum was harmless in the first place. And I think he’s going to stay confused, and I think he’s going to feel betrayed and I know any chances of them ever really being brothers died with Cantrip.

And it breaks my heart for William because he wanted to believe so hard. He was going to split those samples, y’know? He told Vyncent “the board made him do it”. He told David about Ashe. About his fears around Mal. About how he’s afraid being able to drink and feel and live again might all go away. He wanted to have an older brother he could trust so bad. And now one of their only friends is dead, and William killed her, and no amount of logic or rationalisations or leaps of faiths in the world is going to fix that.

William’s haunting speech to David at the end… fuck man. All that rage, all that guilt, all that self hatred William has projected back and forced down the throat, nose, ears of the brother that doesn’t but should. Turning the tool he learnt and used under David’s command back on him.

My thoughts? I think William was doomed the moment he tried to win an argument in that operation room with the older brother he always considered smarter better and more successful than him in every way. There’s nothing more impressionable in the world than a younger brother.

But I also think William might finally stop digging himself deeper, at least for now. How heavily Cantrip’s death weighs on him, Dakota’s reactions, Mal making another appearance, what David and his parents are going to be like after all this… it is all still up in the air.

Fuck man. Ultimately, I still can’t get over that very last line. “I really wanted to have a brother.” Because that’s what it was all about, really. Not being pro hero or anti hero, not a villainous descent nor a sudden morality change… just William hoping his older brother could finally love him.

But David just proved his theory right: that everything that comes from Deadwood is sick and twisted and wrong. Nothing good has ever come from that place. Certainly not David… and certainly not himself, either.

the anti-heroes.

oh wait fuck. i know i'm like a million years late but i just saw the art that was posted on patreon

did smoke monster william literally become canon

if dakota had moved at any point morally in this campaign, i think pd would’ve hit more supervilliainy vibes right after losing ashe. and honestly i don’t think this situation would feel nearly so bad if they didn’t know their actions would directly disappoint dakota(and tide). i think his strict morality in all of this makes the choices feel worse. because if there wasn’t going to be inner party conflict from this, i think charlie could justify/brush it off easier and william would’ve gone off the deep end a while ago. but instead we have william trying to cling to “whats right” despite not really believing in it, because he believes in dakota more than he believes in himself
