Been a while since my last 13cards art post.
Here's a drawing of Brolly I made today. It's one of my recent designs for him where I gave him a poncho to make him look more like an umbrella.
Thnx to Discord moots for help with this one.
Here's original sketches for this design.
I draw clones a lot, actually, I just never get around to posting them.
Also, there's something big 13cards related cooking up that I might post soon...
@jacksonsmithforreal ok Mr this is the time. It's Elijah or Pamela
HEAR ME OUT
ok just hear me out-
You (David Miller) shipped with . . . .
wait for it . . .
*drumroll sounds*
. . .
Elijah?
no offense to elijah but NO. just no. never. sorry dude, i got my dude already
Ada was a maid who fell inlove with a man who couldn't care less for her and she knew it
And yet? She still fell inlove with this man; enough to fall for the first guy who resembles him even though she didn't have her memories
Even though he doesn't like her at all; not even in a sexual way like Thomas did
And when she does get some of her memories back?
She all too easily fall for Montresor who -unlike Prospero- acts so much like Thomas did
Shot out to @lovelyn06 post
So Ada is still inlove with Thomas
The man who killed her (and maybe her unborn baby if she was actually pregnant like another theory -which I don't know where the source of is- suggested)
The man who mercilessly cut her to pieces like Lovelyn06 came to the conclusion of
And she died deep down hopelessly praying he'd come back for her
After everything she still wanted that scum of a man to come back for her. Despite what he's done to her; despite him cutting her to pieces and taking her life
She still wanted him then; and she still wants him now
It's dumb and awfully so very tragic
And isn't it ironic that she doesn't have any idea that her queen is not too different from her?
Both of them are so inlove with the very same people who ended up killing them
Hell, perhaps that's the reason on why Annabel both belittled and saved Ada in the chapters 71 and 113; Because she understands what Ada feels all too well
In conclusion: Ada is more devoted than Annabel to a shitty man who brutally killed her and would never give a fuck about her and it makes me feel almost like crying
A small detail I want to point out; is that when lenore almost pulled a gun on Annabel, she knew it was empty, she checked when she went through her suitcase. The gun was nothing but an accessory to scare the others off, scare Annabel lee off. Chances are lenore never for a moment thought of actually hurting Annabel physically but mentally.
This isn't going to be very nice to Lenore, and in general the "remembering in pieces" mechanic, so just don't click read more if you don't want to see me tear into it thanks.
Like I know we all love to call Annabel a manipulator, and she is, but THIS MOMENT is kind of egregious as fuck to me.
The audacity to call her a monster (AND mad) to her face and then comfort her when she reacts badly over it
The audacity to look at her like this:
and then immediately after do this:
Why is she even saying "I don't know what I'd do with myself" if she's not supposed to remember that they were close?
But then why would she be acting like this if she DOES remember that they're close???
The worst thing is that it's so obvious how Lenore cares for the Misfits but when it comes to Annabel it feels cheap? Like it doesn't feel like there's any connection there other than "I remember I'm supposed to love you but do I actually?" rather than there being any genuine emotions involved. (Is that the point???)
WHERE is the delusion? The "Annabel must have surely had a reason—"
WHERE is the trust?
WHERE is the loyalty? <- truly my biggest gripe because Annabel is so fucking devoted I cannot let it go, I can't LMAO
WHERE is her not actually being as mad as she SHOULD be despite all of her misgivings and thus making Duke and Pluto suspicious as all hell?
Lenore has never ONCE given Annabel the benefit of the doubt and I understand that in the beginning when she knew nothing, but now? NOW? After THIS
Clear realization?
At some point I have to think that the flashbacks we're shown are not things they remember in canon unless we're explicitly shown them waking up to it because THIS
does not make sense otherwise.
Lenore WHY are you not losing your mind here? After saying that you're done with Annabel's whole game?
Go crazy go feral???
Annabel gave you the same reasoning, Lenore. Why are you tolerating this from him? You were manhandling Annabel and inches away from pulling a gun on her but now Duke has Annabel by the throat and halfway past a balcony railing and you're just TALKING?
Lenore tell me. Tell MEEEE!
Is it because Annabel treats it like a "game"? She's being playfully and giggly rather than being serious and "there's no other way" like Duke, even though she said THIS
before.
That's the worst part, really. Annabel has been VERY transparent the ENTIRE time and yet Lenore gets mad over her doing exactly what she said she'll do.
Conclusion to my rant:
What do they remember, what do they NOT remember? I don't know!
Annabel is devoted to the depths of hell even to her own detriment but is that because she remembers or because she's just Like That™?
Lenore is full of doubts and perpetual suspicions, and is willing to call her a monster to her face, but at the same time she sprouts "I don't know what I'll do without you." and jumps off balconies. Is that because she remembers or because she's just Like That™?
What is going ON
It's been a week, give or take, right? So they remember, what? 5 days worth of memories? Unless they remember much, much more than just a singular happening a night?
It feels inconsistent at best and utterly pointless at worst.
Just show us the flashbacks as an outside thing, it didn't have to be organically connected to their Nevermore storyline,,,,OR have them remember everything only when they first go Specre
Good point. I can see it go both ways tbh, but I'm still going to stick with my point because it makes more sense to me personally with how Jackson would delay telling the truth to pamela looked like he was concerned with what exer did more than how it effected pamela on a deeper level
A popular belief from s1 is that Jackson beat up exer because of what he did to pamela, however that's not actually right
If you go back to read prior to the fight you'll realize that Jackson was never really pissed off about what exer did until he realized that exer been sabotaging him too, that's when he gets angry.
Of course he acknowledges that's what exer did to pamela and yes it upset him and he believes pam should know; but the thing is that it doesn't upset him enough to beat exer up
Do you know what upsets him enough?
Pamela's makeover and joining the reds
This is what upsets him enough to beat exer up
Why?
Because looking at this from a different perspective; it looks like exer is still trying to sabotage Jackson's life and isolate him.
The only people on Jackson's side are pamela and brenda, but brenda is more of with both sides and with David being her brother and she obviously regaining her crush on exer; that would leave Jackson with only one person he can absolutely trust won't leave him: Pamela
So seeing Pamela with the reds felt like everything was crumbling for him; that exer was manipulating pam to join him and his friends and then exer would continue his cat and mouse game that Jackson now knows of.
So really it wasn't about pamela as a person as much as it was about pamela as Jackson's last remaining companion in that rivalry thing
Sometimes tweeter people know their stuff- this is the right kind of toxic angst I want to read.
